Two potential Phillies replacements for J.T. Realmuto are now off the board.
Earlier this week, Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi expressed concern that the organization lacked Major League-ready depth at the catching position. That is why they signed Christian Bethancourt to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training just a day later.
Outside of Bethancourt, the Phillies still only have Andrew Knapp and Rafael Marchan under contract as feasible other options to log big-league innings at the position in 2021.
